Pound Dog Programs

Please call for details.

Dr. Wilcox helped start and administer the mandatory spay-neuter programs in Mahoning and Columbiana County. Those programs are still in existence and still very successful.

Trumbull County does not have an effective mandatory spay-neuter program at this time, like our neighboring counties.

I can’t think of one reason why not to have a mandatory spay-neuter because spay-neuter is the answer, warehousing animals is not! I urge you, no matter where you live, to write, call, or email your county commissioners or administrator and ask them to be PROACTIVE and make mandatory spaying and neutering the law in your county. It just makes sense to help the pet overpopulation problem and reduce costs to taxpayers for pound upkeep, maintenance, and damages done to personal property or people by stray or biting stray dogs.

I’m at a loss as to why dog pounds have become a political pawn, and decisions for animals are made based on politics, not by veterinary professionals or educated animal husbandry individuals with the best interest of the animals at heart.

We thank the many good people who adopted and participated in our pound program. We have met many nice people saw some really great dogs come through our clinic.

Save a dog, adopt from the pound or shelter!
